Juliet: A Dialogue about Love

Thursday, December 6-7 @ 8pm
Location: Rose Firebay
Cost: $8 adult; $6 senior/student. Tickets available at bloomingtonarts.info.

An Eastern European Juliet set during the times of darkest dictatorship and without a Romeo: this, in a single sentence, is the essence of András Visky's drama, a "dialogue" in which the Transylvanian writer has documented the true story of his parents. In 1939, his father fled from Romania to Hungary, where he was to meet his future wife.

After World War II they decided to return to Transylvania, by then a part of Romania again, because, as he said, a servant of God must always choose the hard way. His father was sentenced to 22 years in prison; his mother remained alone with the seven children without even a knowledge of the language. They were deported to the Romanian Gulag a thousand kilometres from their home. But Juliet was not ready to give up her freedom and deny her love, and instead she decided to find a way out. Although Juliet is performed by just one
actress, it brings alive a multitude of stories, objects, places and situations, with even God stepping onto the scene as the main protagonist in Juliet's escape. Juliet has been on the programme of the Thália Theatre in Budapest for three seasons, playing to full houses.

Presented by Indiana University's Romainan Studies Organization.
